Artist's Statement

'My work ranges from the representational to the abstract, and often combines the two styles. I love to paint in a textured and layered manner; striving to make the images fanciful but bold. Some of my paintings take almost a year to complete, as I am constantly building thin layer upon thin layer of paint until I achieve the desired effect. This technique reflects my fascination with the textures and layers, colors and mysteries of our own lives. '

'Most of my work is influenced by medieval frescoes (the gold and color combinations) and Asian art (the simplicity). Above all, in every single painting I do, I abide by the words of Claude Monet: "When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you....merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow and paint it just as it looks to you."
